Regrettably, to my knowledge the MPAA has not followed the RIAA cue in making drm-free video available. (rant) Nevermind the fact that individual RIAA sales shot up dramatically when drm-free music became an option. Sure, those sales were for 1 to 3 dollars, rather than 12, resulting in terrible profit margins for the RIAA, but that issue simply doesn't exist for TV and Movies, where it's impossible to buy 2 "tracks" of a movie. You buy the whole movie, or you buy nothing. All sources and empirical data suggests that the MPAA would enjoy a massive windfall if DRM free TV and Movies were made available, but somebody up on a hill is too stupid to see the writing on the wall, and so they're willing to sacrifice profit in the name of drm-laden streaming.

So your options are to use Netflix in America. In parts of Europe, you can rip dvds and bluray by breaking the encryption legally. And, as far as options go, that's about it.
